Submitting Your Abstracts
ORS provides awards and grants based on high-quality abstracts.
Award and grant opportunities are only available to ORS members. If you’re not currently a member but would like to join the ORS, please complete a membership application prior to abstract submission. Membership applications must be received on or before Monday, August 30 to be eligible for an ORS award or grant. Please contact the ORS office at [email protected] if you have questions regarding membership.
Presenting Authors will automatically be considered for all applicable awards and grants based on information gathered upon submission of his, her or their abstract. Awards and grants include:
For those who may have imposed travel restrictions (government or institutional) that would prevent in-person attendance at ORS 2022, ORS will provide opportunities for you to present your abstracts that will be accepted for presentation.
Those that are not able to travel as noted above will not be required to register for the ORS 2022 Annual Meeting. However, you will be given the opportunity to present your work.
Sharing your work is important! It’s important to you, to the field and to the mission of ORS: Accelerate musculoskeletal discovery to improve health
Abstracts accepted for a Poster Presentation
Poster Presenters will have the opportunity to display a poster in the Poster/Exhibit Hall. ORS is planning to secure a paid service that you can utilize to print and hang your poster. All posters – whether authors are present in-person or will present virtually and encouraged to embed a QR code that leads to a self-recorded talk (similar to the 2021 annual meeting presentations). This adds a special value to you as an author and provides details of your presentation throughout the meeting..
Abstracts accepted for Podium Presentation
Podium presenters will have the opportunity to self-record your presentation, uploading your talk and having your talk be a part of the session your abstract was selected to appear.
Abstract presentations, whether podium or poster will not be available via a virtual meeting option. This decision was made based solely on the data collected from our 2021 virtual meeting, the time zone differentials of our participants and the fatigue experienced by all. However, we hope that by providing the options above we are meeting your needs to share your research.

The themes and sessions in the Annual Meeting program are not prescribed by the ORS Annual Meeting Scientific Program Committee but directly represent the abstract submissions. If you would like to see more of a certain topic, please encourage your colleagues in that area to submit to the ORS. The ORS Program Committee strives to have at least one podium session covering each of the nineteen topic categories listed above.
